Designed specifically for the HVAC industry with a full range of options and accessories, these units are also ideal for custom or design-and-build projects in refrigeration or air conditioning. Units are a single blower, internally mounted motor design. Each blower section has hinged access panels on both sides for service convenience. Air conditioning units are available for both low and medium pressure applications. The standard configurations available in most models include forward curved and airfoil wheels, with or without inlet vanes; horizontal and vertical draw-thru and horizontal blow-thru; internal or external fan isolation. Continuous diameter solid steel blower shafting is used throughout the line, resulting in large bearing diameters and low bearing loads. The highest quality grease lubricated bearings are selected to assure 200,000 hours average service life. Each rotating assembly, including fan wheel, shaft, sheaves, belts and motor, is balanced after final assembly to assure smooth, quiet performance. Standard coil options include chilled water or direct expansion cooling coils; hot water, steam and heat reclaim heating coils plus electric heat sections to provide complete comfort and environmental conditioning. * Cooling Capacity 4 row 8 FPI Coil @ 500 FPM Air Velocity: Heating Capacity 1 Row 8 FPI Coil @ 500 FPM Air Velocity: A (Water) 80 DB/67 WB Ent.
